Do you place your icons and then clean up or do you have them sorted in a predefined order ?
All I do is snapping every icon (don't know the exact words in the English system, I use the Italian version) to the grid in the Show View Option. Nothing else.
I'll tell you what came to mind when I read your post.
(1) If your preferences are NOT set to snap-to-grid, and
(2) you've been gathering a collection of icons all over your desktop, and then
(3) you decide to switch your preferences TO snap-to-grid, and then
(4) you select SOME or ALL of your desktop items and drag them just a little bit, then:
The result is that each icon snaps to the closest "point" on the grid. Some go up a little, some go down a little, some go left a little,etc... They all do appear to "fly" a little, and they all end up in "the grid" rather than random.
Could that be what you are describing?
